The League Management Company(LMC) has reiterated that the 2014/2015 Nigeria Premier league season will continue this weekend with Week 11 matches after a joint meeting of the league body and the club Owners Association held in Abuja on Tuesday.
The LMC however disclosed that the match involving Warri Wolves and Kano Pillars slated for Warri on Sunday has been postponed indefinitely because of the Seasiders' eight players in the Super Eagles and the U23 national team camps which left the premier league side half strength.
